CompositionGluconorm SR 500 Tablet is used to help control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone are not enough. Good control helps reduce the long-term risk of complications such as kidney, nerve and eye damage.
It contains metformin in a sustained-release form. Take it with food as prescribed; the sustained-release form may help reduce stomach side effects.
A balanced diet with controlled carbohydrate intake, regular activity, keeping to a healthy weight and routine blood sugar monitoring support better control alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any kidney or liver problems before starting, and about other medicines you take. Report persistent vomiting, rapid breathing or severe muscle pain, as these can rarely be early signs of lactic acidosis (a build-up of lactic acid in the blood).
